So in the worst case scenario where we lose both copies due to some unforeseen circumstances, there is a daily backup from which we can restore.

How do I upload files from desktop?

There are three different methods of uploading files to Zoho Docs. The easiest one is the 'Drag & Drop'. You can simply drag the file or folder from your computer and drop it in the destination folder in Zoho Docs.

To upload bulk files (sizing more than 100 MB) from your computer :

Click the down arrow in 'Upload' button and select 'Bulk Upload'.

Choose the destination folder in the left side menu.

Click on 'Select files to upload' to choose the files from your computer.

I have accidentally deleted a document from the folder. How do I restore it?

Do not worry. It is exactly for this reason Zoho Docs does not delete a document at the first instance. Zoho Docs has a 'Trash Bin' option similar to the Macintosh's Trash and Windows Recycle bins.

The trash is a temporary storage for files that have been deleted by the user, but not yet permanently erased from the account. You can restore the deleted files to its original folder by selecting the files from the trash folder and clicking on the "Restore" button
